Query on header test

[Mukesh Ojha]

Hi All,

We are facing issue while compiling kernel (5.4) in android (arm64) on 
ubuntu18 host machine
when header test is performed.
Note: there is no issue observed on ubuntu16.

And it is failing with below issue,

./usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:2323:20: error: field has incomplete 
type 'struct timespec'
        struct timespec                 timestamp;
                                        ^
./usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:2323:9: note: forward declaration of 
'struct timespec'
        struct timespec                 timestamp;
               ^
1 error generated.


where in one of the headers "include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h" is 
including "sys/time.h"
Inside include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h
#ifndef __KERNEL__
#include <sys/time.h>
#endif

and it is try to search this file in host machine in 
"usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/time.h".
but it is failing with that as looks like ubuntu18  packaged 
x86_64-linux-gnu time.h is not
compatible while it is compatible with ubuntu16 packaged time.h has no 
issue.

Defining _GNU_SOURCE is somehow fixing the issue the somehow.
And now i am not sure whether it is maintaining as per the standard of 
header test or it somehow
violates it.
